Alice Through the Looking Glass
Swamiji said that Lewis Carroll had some kind of intuition-this was not an ordinary mind-to have written such books. He thought Alice in Wonderland "the most wonderful book for children that has been written in this [the nineteenth] century."
"There is no such thing as law or connection in this world, but we are thinking that there is a great deal of connection," he had said in 1896 during a New York class. "... The world is the same unconnected thing. Alice in Wonderland-with no connection whatever."
